How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, ZCash, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<ZCash>({network: Network.ZCASH})

const result = await tatum.rpc.decodeRawTransaction("02000000013412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab0000000000fdffffff0140420f00000000001976a91462e907b15cbf27d5425399ebf6f0fb50ebb88f1888ac00000000")

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

The decoderawtransaction RPC method decodes a serialized (hex-encoded) raw transaction and displays its information in a human-readable format. This method is useful for inspecting raw transactions before broadcasting them to the network or for debugging purposes.

Parameters

hex_string: (string, required) The serialized raw transaction in hex format.

Return Object

An object containing the decoded raw transaction information:

txid: (string) The transaction ID.
hash: (string) The transaction hash.
version: (numeric) The transaction version.
size: (numeric) The transaction size in bytes.
vsize: (numeric) The virtual transaction size in bytes.
weight: (numeric) The transaction weight.
locktime: (numeric) The lock time for the transaction.
vin: (array) An array of objects, each representing an input of the transaction.
- txid: (string) The transaction ID of the previous transaction output to spend.
- vout: (numeric) The index of the output to spend from the previous transaction.
- scriptSig: (object) The script used to redeem the previous transaction output.
  - asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.
  - hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.
- sequence: (numeric) The sequence number.
vout: (array) An array of objects, each representing an output of the transaction.
- value: (numeric) The amount sent to the output.
- n: (numeric) The index of the output.
- scriptPubKey: (object) The script used to lock the output.
  - asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.
  - hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.
  - reqSigs: (numeric) The required number of signatures.
  - type: (string) The type of the script (e.g., 'pubkeyhash').
  - addresses: (array) An array of addresses associated with the output.
